Water Conservation

Water Conservation
INTRODUCTION:It is no secret that water is the basis of all life. Up to 60% of the human body is made up of water. The environment and the world continue to grow everyday with people and living things. Therefore to ensure the survival of all man-kind we need to learn to conserve water. There are three major points to why you should limit your water use. Saving water saves energy. When you use water wisely, you save money. Last but not least you need water to survive. TRANSITION:It takes a considerable amount of energy to deliver and treat the water you use every day. (“EPA” 2001) Now I would like to illustrate a picture on how conserving water can help save energy. I. How can saving water save energy?

A. The truth is vast amounts of energy are used to pump, treat, deliver, and heatour nations’ water. If we reduce the amount of water we can be conserving both. (“EPA” 2011)B. Transporting water uses energy.1. Use local water. Rain water harvesting is an energy saver. (“Clean Tech” 2008)C. Heating water uses an immense deal of energy. (“Clean Tech” 2008)1. You should try washing clothes with cold water.2. We can also try to take shorter showers to shorten hot water use.D. We can try to eat healthier. We could eat more grains and vegetables in orderto cut down on the beef. (“Clean Tech” 2008)1. Animal farming takes more energy and water than regular crop farming.2. Beef production requires 100 times more water to produce theequivalent in protein from grains. (“Clean Tech” 2008) TRANSITION:When you think about it, it’s impossible to separate our energy use from our water use. Since we have explored this logic let’s take it a step further to see how this can impact our wallets. Furthermore helping us save some money. I. How can saving water save you a few bucks?

A. The average household looses about $147 dollars on water because of leaks....

...week, but we cannot stand for living without water for a day. Water is the basis of lives living on earth. But without a proper condition of water, there must be a bad effect on all types of lives as well. As it becoming worse because of the pollution and the climate change, waterconservation is the perfect way to improve the quality of water as well as to balance the current and future water needs. To get through the waterconservation, we should know the important, the goal and how we can conserve the water. If you have any questions, I’ll be very happy to answer them at the end of my presentation.
Ok, to begin with, let’s have a look on what the important of waterconservation. To human, water provides us a huge need for the basic needs as we need fresh water for drinking, to cook thing and to use in things we cook; for example, in the soup, cake, dessert, porridge and so on and we also need freshwater to wash ourselves for being clean and hygiene, to wash clothes for being fresh, to wash dishes for getting away from any kinds of gems, and even to wash our vehicles as needed. Freshwater is used in many ways. We can also use freshwater to improve the sanitation, irrigation, industry and so on. To animal, freshwater plays a very important role as their fundamental needs...

...﻿Waterconservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning, manufacturing, and agricultural irrigation.
Waterconservation programs are typically initiated at the local level, by either municipal water utilities or regional governments. Common strategies include public outreach campaigns, tiered water rates (charging progressively higher prices as water use increases), or restrictions on outdoor water use such as lawn watering and car washing. Cities in dry climates often require or encourage the installation of xeriscaping or natural landscaping in new homes to reduce outdoor water usage.
The Cost effective minimum water network is a holistic framework/guide for waterconservation that helps in determining the minimum amount of freshwater and wastewater target for an industrial or urban system based on the water management hierarchy i.e. it considers all conceivable methods to save water. The technique ensure that the designer desired payback period is satisfied using Systematic Hierarchical Approach for Resilient Process Screening (SHARPS) technique.

...CONSERVATION OF forest is certainly a necessity that requires to be addressed as a priority. For the survival of human beings, a holistic approach is required to be adopted as regards protection of the plant kingdom as well as the wildlife with regard to the peaceful and mutually beneficial co-existence of all.
To prevent any kind of ecological imbalance a very pragmatic action plan has to be formulated. Towards achieving this many legislation have been enacted in India and elsewhere. At the international level also the world communities, being concerned with the deteriorating situation worldwide, have joined hands towards finding a lasting and sustainable solution by deliberating on the subject in various conventions like that in Rio-de Janeiro and the latest Doha round of talks. These are truly welcome moves taken by the world community.
Coming back to India, there are legislations galore to deal with the situation by way of wildlife protection, forest conservation, environment protection laws etc. No doubt, the aims and object of such legislations are in tune with the call of the hour. Forests are being denuded haphazardly. Deforestation in a rampant manner by various elements has depleted the forest areas forcing the wild life to lesser domains and as a result of this rampage of human habitat by wild pachyderms and other animals have become a regular phenomenon in certain areas.
Forests are being encroached by people who have been...

...Conservation of waterWaterconservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning, manufacturing, and agricultural irrigation.
INTRODUCTION
Waterconservation can be defined as:
1. Any beneficial reduction in water loss, use or waste as well as the preservation of water quality.
2. A reduction in water use accomplished by implementation of waterconservation or water efficiency measures; or,
Improved water management practices that reduce or enhance the beneficial use of water. A waterconservation measure is an action, behavioral change, device, technology, or improved design or process implemented to reduce water loss, waste, or use. Water efficiency is a tool of waterconservation. That results in more efficient water use and thus reduces water demand. The value and cost-effectiveness of a water efficiency measure must be evaluated in relation to its effects on the use and cost of other natural resources (e.g. energy or chemicals).

...﻿Waterconservation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United States postal stamp advocating waterconservation.
Waterconservation encompasses the policies, strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource, to protect the water environment, and to meet current and future human demand. Population, household size and growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation.[1]
The goals of waterconservation efforts include:
To ensure availability for future generations, the withdrawal of fresh water from an ecosystem should not exceed its natural replacement rate.
Energy conservation. Water pumping, delivery and waste water treatment facilities consume a significant amount of energy. In some regions of the world over 15% of total electricity consumption is devoted to water management.
Habitat conservation. Minimizing human water use helps to preserve fresh water habitats for local wildlife and migrating waterfowl, as well as reducing the need to build newdams and other water diversion infrastructures.

History, Duties, and Expectations of an Indiana Conservation Officer |
Conservation Officers, as well as the Department of Natural Resources, have a long and colourful history in the state of Indiana dating as far back as 1889. In the late 1870’s naturalists began to raise a hue and cry about the uncontrolled use and depletion of our natural resources, concerned with such issues as soil erosion and the resulting water pollution, loss of acres of forest land to raging wildfires, and the draining of natural wetlands. In response, Indiana began to institute gaming seasons and laws to regulate acceptable conduct with regard to all natural resources. In 1889, County Road Supervisors were given authority to enforce these laws and regulations, essentially making these individuals precursors to the officers we know today. The Department of Fisheries and Game was established in 1899 and in 1901 the government created the Board of Forestry and the position of State Forester. Actual game wardens were established in 1911, with a salary of $75 a month, and within the first ten years Indiana wardens were averaging 55 annual arrests per officer.(DNR Timeline, www.in.gov)
In 1913, Colonel Richard Lieber began working to procure land for the purpose of creating state parks in honour of Indiana’s 100 year anniversary of statehood....

...However, increased water use is a result of the growth as well. West Texas’ primary sources of water are aquifers, such as the Ogallala Aquifer (Wheeler, 2008). They are key components for the economic development, growth, and survival of the agriculture, ranching, energy, and industrial as well as municipalities (Geurrero & Amosson, 2013). Lack of water regulation and conservation initiatives over the years combined with population growth, a longer life span, and drought has caused the depletion of aquifers to an alarming point (Somma, 1997). New regulations are vital for the allocation of water to support the various industries. However, they must involve new methods of waterconservation to enable the aquifers to replenish naturally from the absorption of runoff and surface water (Wheeler, 2008). Economic studies are being used as one tool to help with new regulations and conservation methods. Research on dry land cropping in conjuncture with expected seasonal rainfall preserves the soil, which, in turn, conserves water without major agriculture consequences (Musunuru, 2003). Studies that estimate the economic value of the limited use of the aquifer and in its effects dollar wise to the food production industries for the whole region (Guerrero & Amosson, 2013). Understanding the impact and value of water...


Conservation is very essential to the history of man.
Conservation provides an understanding of how
buildings, towns, roads, countryside, are
manifested.
It shows the traces of the struggles, ambitions,
successes, and failures of our predecessors.

For a building to be safe and useable its structural
parts must remain stationary, this requires that the
forces acting on them are equal and opposite. (as
shown on the plate below).


Structural performance is ascertained through the
process known as structural appraisal.
It is aimed at how information is obtained, about
the physical facts of the structure and is assessed so
as to check the structural adequacy of the
intended building.
